Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors 10-year old Cooper Gallagher from Andover and his grandfather Jack.  Over the last 43 years, Jack has served as the Sgt at Arms for the Veterans and Memorial Day services in Salina.  Jack passed away last year, but his memory was kept alive by his 10-year old grandson Cooper who is a member of the Wichita branch of the Young Marines.  During Monday’s services Cooper, dressed in his own little Marine uniform, stood at attention with the new Sgt at Arms, all the while holding his grandfather’s hat.  Well done Cooper, we are very proud of you and to you grandfather Jack, thank you for your service.
